Public bug reported:
This all started when I used Software Updater earlier this week. (I use once
weekly to keep system up to date).
Looks as if update of GNOME multi protocol chat and call client (nautilus-send
to plugin) nautilus-sendto-empathy initiated the problem. (I am not even aware
that I use this software)
Got the message:
The package is broken:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
nautilus-sendto-empathy: Depends: libgudev-1.0-0 (>= 147) but 1:175-0ubuntu9.4
is installed
Depends: empathy-common (= 3.4.2.3-0ubuntu1) but
3.4.2.3-0ubuntu1.1 is installed
I am not a linux software developer but tried to follow similar problems
described on internet :

You might want to run ‘apt-get -f install’ to correct these.

But without success.
Fortunately, my other apps are working fine but I notice three other software
updates are now waiting to be applied.
I tried applying the three new updates without the GNOME multi protocol chat
update but still get same error.
I am totally out of my comfort zone and appreciate any help that can be
provided.
Thanks, John
